宣说了地藏心髓的决定意义。此后，在时间圆满的百岁时期，地点圆满的瓦拉纳西、鹫峰山和舍卫城，导师金刚持亲自化现为天人导师吉祥释迦牟尼佛，以十二事业等方式，为声闻、菩萨、天龙等眷属，结合所化众生的根器，宣说了教法圆满的三乘法轮。如此这般的十二导师，也都是依于所化众生的时机和调伏者的因缘而显现的，最初的导师普贤王如来，原始本尊即以名称圆满的金刚持之相而来。他考虑到与劫时相符的难调伏的所化众生，化现为寂静、忿怒等形象各异的导师，如上依次宣说了教法的法轮。就此教法而言，导师释迦牟尼佛，外显为释迦牟尼佛，内显为普明遍照，密显为大金刚持，极密则为自性原始本尊普贤王如来，实际上是如此命名的。他所宣说的续部，一般在色究竟天等清净刹土、天界、人间、八部众等地宣说，但特别是大圆满，有六十四万续部，总的来说，宁玛派的所有法脉，大多源于西邬金。自从藏地王臣势力鼎盛之时起，就没有后来的译师能够超越西邬金的境界。即使有超越者，也无法像普通译师那样开启空行母的秘密宝藏和自生佛塔。如上所示，大圆满是导师所说的教法，汇集了九乘次第，是所有教法中最顶级的、根器最上乘的教法，是所有教法中不共的。印度的传承也都是光明金刚藏的法类，具有四种灌顶河流的灌顶语传承，从七位传承上师传至莲花生大师。

The definitive meaning of the essence of the Earth Treasure was spoken. Thereafter, in the time of perfect time, the age of one hundred years, in the place of perfect place, Varanasi, Vulture Peak, and Shravasti, the teacher Vajradhara himself manifested as the teacher of gods and humans, the glorious Shakyamuni Buddha, and in the manner of the twelve deeds, etc., to the retinue of Shravakas, Bodhisattvas, gods, nagas, etc., he spoke the Dharma of the three vehicles, which is the perfect Dharma, in accordance with the order of those to be tamed. Thus, these twelve teachers also appeared depending on the time of those to be tamed and the circumstances of the tamer. The first teacher, Samantabhadra, the primordial protector, appeared in the form of the perfectly named Vajradhara. Considering the difficult-to-tame beings who were in accordance with the eon, he manifested as various teachers with different peaceful and wrathful appearances. As mentioned above, he successively taught the wheels of Dharma. In terms of this teaching, the teacher Shakyamuni Buddha, outwardly appears as Shakyamuni, inwardly as Sarvavid Vairochana, secretly as the Great Vajradhara, and most secretly as the self-existing primordial Buddha Samantabhadra. In reality, that is how he is named. The tantras he taught are generally taught in pure lands such as Akanishta, in the realms of gods, in the human realm, and in various places such as the eight classes of beings. However, especially in the Great Perfection, there are 640,000 tantras. In general, all the transmissions of the Nyingma school mostly originated in the land of Western Oddiyana. Since the time when the power of the kings and ministers of Tibet was at its peak, no later translator has been able to surpass the realm of Western Oddiyana. Even if there were those who surpassed it, they would not be able to open the secret treasures of the dakinis and the self-arisen stupas like ordinary translators. As shown above, the Great Perfection is the Dharma taught by the teacher, which gathers the nine successive vehicles, and is the topmost Dharma of all Dharmas, the Dharma of the most superior faculties, which is uncommon to all. The Indian lineages are also of the Light Vajra Essence category, the lineage of empowerment words with the four rivers of empowerment, from the seven lineage masters to Guru Padmasambhava.

比玛拉二尊将所有剩余的（法）迎请至西藏，因此后来在印度便没有了出处。心部、界部、（宁玛）八大教诫各自的支分等等，是由印度的八大持明和西藏的译师们依次翻译的。据说有些续部至今仍保存在邬金自生寺中。那么，上述四条河流的流向是什么呢？是从上师传承而来的加持，是口传下来的灌顶；是获得本尊神许可的灌顶之流；是从智者班智达的灌顶而来的自解脱灌顶；是经函典籍的灌顶法之流；是获得明觉智慧力量，从而能掌控轮回涅槃的（灌顶）。这些是上述上师传承所具有的。特别是，完整具备四种灌顶之流的，据说即使在印度也只有莲花生大师。因此，光明金刚藏的精华，在藏汉两地都非常稀有，而且小根器者也难以信奉。如比玛拉的《金鬘》中所说：无上乘的精华，是有缘之士在无数劫之前积累了二资粮，亲近并供养了众多佛陀，业障彻底清净，最后有菩萨才能证悟的境界，不是任何人都能证悟的。与低劣乘、福德浅薄、智慧低下、依赖处所、时间和道路之人不会相遇，即使相遇也不会信奉。如是所说，此法即使在印度也变得稀有，不是任何人都能证悟的，这句话很容易理解。因此，即使现在印度，法的本质上没有新旧之分，但在口传传承的新旧方面，从古汝和比玛拉开始，到极喜金刚、妙吉祥友、师利星哈、智经等光明金刚藏的传承，以及吽嘎拉、妙吉祥友、龙树心要、扎哈斯地、达纳桑吉达、让布古雅、香提嘎尔巴、因扎菩提、列格斯米嘎拉、郭玛德威等，从这些开始。

Vimalamitra and Vairochana invited all the remaining (teachings) to Tibet, so later there was no source in India. The Mind Series, the Space Series, and the individual divisions of the Eight Commands (of Nyingma), etc., were translated successively by the eight vidyadharas of India and the Tibetan translators. It is said that some tantras are still preserved in the self-arisen temple of Oddiyana. So, what are the flows of the above four rivers? It is the empowerment of blessing that comes from the lineage of lamas, the empowerment of oral transmission; it is the flow of empowerment that obtains the permission of the yidam deity; it is the self-liberation empowerment that comes from the empowerment of wise panditas; it is the flow of empowerment of the scriptures and texts; it is the (empowerment) of obtaining the power of awareness and wisdom, so as to control samsara and nirvana. These are possessed by the above lineage of lamas. In particular, it is said that even in India, only Guru Padmasambhava fully possesses the flow of the four empowerments. Therefore, this essence of the Light of Vajra Essence is very rare in both Tibet and China, and it is difficult for those with small minds to believe in it. As it is said in Vimala's Golden Rosary: This essence of the unsurpassed vehicle is the realm of realization for fortunate beings who have accumulated the two accumulations from countless eons ago, have attended and honored many Buddhas, have completely exhausted the obscurations of karma, and are the last bodhisattvas to realize enlightenment. It is not the realm of realization for just anyone. Those who are inferior in vehicle, inferior in merit, inferior in wisdom, and who rely on place, time, land, and path will not encounter it. Even if they encounter it, they will not believe in it. As it is said, this Dharma has become a rare place even in India, and it is not the realm of realization for just anyone, which is easy to understand. Therefore, even now in India, although there is no new or old in the essence of Dharma, in terms of the new and old of the oral transmission lineage, starting from Guru and Vimala, to Garab Dorje, Manjushrimitra, Shri Singha, Jñanasutra, etc., the lineage of the Light of Vajra Essence, as well as Humkara, Manjushrimitra, Nagarjuna's Heart Essence, Prahasati, Dhanasamskrita, Rambhuguya, Shantinggarbha, Indrabodhi, Leksmikara, Gomadevi, etc., from these onwards.
